1 Campfires Burning[Tune: Londons burning] Camp fire's Burning Camp fire's burning, Draw nearer, Draw nearer, In the gloaming, In the gloaming, Come sing and be merry, Alternatives Campfire's burning, campfire's burning Put logs on, put logs on Higher higher, higher higher And build up the fire. Campfire's burning, campfire's burning Draw nearer, draw nearer Campfire, Campfire Come sing and be merry. 2 Four Spirits Campfire Opening Four speakers as North, South, East and West Signal all around fire for silence. Each speaker enters from the appropriate compass point. North: I am the spirit of the North where the great game of Scouting began. South: I am the spirit of the South and I spread the love of Scouting to the world. East: I am the spirit of the East and I spread the friendship of Scouting to the world. West: I am the spirit of the West and I spread the worth of Scouting to the world. All: Together we join in the fire of friendship. 3 Camp GranadaHello Mudda, hello Fadda, Here I am at Camp Granada. Camp is very entertaining, And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining. I went hiking with Joe Spivy; He developed poison ivy. You remember Leonard Skinner; He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner. All the counselors hate the waiters, And the lake has alligators, And the head coach wants no sissies, So he reads to us from something called "Ulysses". Now I don’t want this should scare ya, But my bunk mate has malaria. You remember Jeffrey Hardy, They’re about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda, Take me home, I hate Granada! Don’t leave me in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear. Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,Or mess the house with other boys.Oh, please don’t make me stay I’ve been here one whole day. Dearest Father, darling Mother, How’s my precious little brother? Let me come home if you miss me, I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me. Wait a minute, it stopped hailing, Guys are swimming, gals are sailing. Playing baseball, gee that’s betta, Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!

4 Oh Ya never go to heaven Oh, the Deacon went down to the cellar to pray He found a jug And stayed all day. Oh, the Deacon went down to the cellar to pray, He found a jug and he stayed all day,

cho: I ain't a-gonna grieve my Lord no more. I ain't a-gonna grieve my lord. I ain't a-gonna grieve my lord. Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

You can't get to Heaven On roller skates, You'll roll right by Them pearly gates.

You can't get to Heaven On a rocking chair, 'Cause the Lord don't want No lazybones there.

You can't get to Heaven In a limousine, 'Cause the Lord don't sell No gasoline.

If you get to Heaven Before I do, Just dig a hole And pull me through.

If I get to Heaven Before you do, I'll dig a hole And spit on you.

You can't get to Heaven With powder and paint, it makes you look Like what you ain't.

There's one thing more I forgot to tell, If you don't go to Heaven, You’ll go to Hell. Oh ya never go to heaven In a biscuit tin Cos a biscuit tin Got biscuits in Oh ya never go to heaven In a biscuit tin Cos the lord don’t let No crumby ones in Oh ya never go to heaven On a sheet of glass Cos a sheet of glass Will cut your finger Oh ya never go to heaven In a ping pong ball Cos a ping pong ball Is much to small Oh ya never go to heaven On a cannon ball Cos what goes up Must surly fall Oh ya never go to heaven With a dog as a pet Cos the lord don’t want His lamp posts wet Oh ya never go to heaven In a jumbo jet Cos the lord ain’t got No runways yet If you get to Those pearly gates And there’s a queue You’ll have to wait

Oh ya never go to heaven in a 20 foot boat Cos in the clouds A yacht don’t float Youth don’t float Oh ya never go to heaven With a fat girl guide Cos the pearly gates Just ain’t that wide Oh ya never go to heaven With the GSL Cos the GSL Is going to hell Oh ya never go to heaven In Richards car Cos Richards car Won’t get that far Oh ya never go to heaven In Stuarts car Cos Stuarts car Stops at every bar Oh ya never go to heaven In Jill’s big bra Cos Jill’s big bra Won’t stretch that far Oh ya never go to heaven In Holland’s bra Cos Holland’s bra Will go too far

Oh ya never go to heaven In marks canoe Cos marks canoe Ain’t made for 2

I'll put my grief Up on the shelf, If you want some more, Make 'em up yourself

"That's all there is, There ain't no more," Saint Peter said As he closed the door.

The cat jumped on the mantle piece and knocked him in the fire (3X) 18. He then went up the chimney in a great big puff of smoke (3X) 19.

9 Super California Surfer ... (The tune to supercalafragalisticxbealidotious) Chorus: Super-California-surfer-expert-of-the-ocean, Even though the most of them do not use suntan lotion, when they hit the waves too hard they always cause a motion, Super-California-surfer-expert-of-the-ocean! Because I was afraid to surf, when I was just a lad, my father took my board away, and told me I was bad. But then one day I heard a word that every surfer knows. The biggest word I ever heard, and this is how it goes Chorus

Can you throw them o’re your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low? Do your ears hang low? Do your ears stick out, can you waggle them about? Can you flap them up and down as you fly around the town? Can you shut them up for sure when you hear an awful bore? Do your ears stick out? Do your ears stick out?

Chorus Keep on praying, keep on saying, If we work hard enough, then we’ll stay free. And we’ll sing as we put our shoulders and our brains to work, Who’ll come a-Scouting, a-Scouting with me.

You made life cheery when you called me “dearie,” ‘Twas down where the blue grass grows. Your lips were sweeter than julep, when you wore that tulip, And I wore a big red rose. 29 Grand old Duke of York The grand old duke of York He had ten thousand men He marched them up to the top of the hill And he marched them down again And when they were up they were up And when they were down they were down And when they were only half-way up They were neither up nor down! OR

The noble Captain Kirk, He had 500 men. He beamed them up to the Enterprise, And he beamed down again. And when they’re up, they’re up, And when they’re down, they’re down, And when they’re only halfway up, They’re nowhere to be found

30 Lydia Pinkham Chorus So Let us drink-a, drink-a, drink, ToLydia Pinkham, Pinkham, Pink. The savior of the human race. She invented a vegetable compound Most efficacious in every case. Here’s a story, a little bit gory, A little bit happy, a little sad. Of Lydia Pinkham and her vegetable compound, And how it drove her to the bad. My brother Bob, he was quite a slob, He used to drool all over town. ‘Til they gave him vegetable compound, And in a week he almost drowned. Johnny Hammer, had a terrible stammer. He could barely say a word. So they gave him vegetable compound, Now he’s seen but never heard.

Oh, Uncle Paul, he was so small. He was the shortest man in town. ‘Til they rubbed him with vegetable compound, Now he weighs but half a pound. A lady named Gwen had no children. She was barren we did fear. ‘Til they gave her vegetable compound, Now she delivers twice a year. Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar, So they put him in a home. There they gave him vegetable compound, Now he’s emperor of Rome. Poor Lydia died and went to heaven. All the church bells they did ring. But she took along her vegetable compound, Hark, how the Angels sing!

Lydia Pinkham (1819-1883) was an American proprietor who claimed that her Vegetable Compound, a blend of herbs and 18% alcohol, could cure any “female complaint” from nervous prostration to a prolapsed uterus. Although its therapeutic effects were never substantiated by medical proof, her product gained popularity among women, many of whom hesitated to consult male physicians about female problems.” In the 1920s, federal regulations caused both the product’s claims and its alcohol content to be reduced. 31 There’s a Hole In My Bucket There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Well fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry Well fix it, dear Henry, well fix it. With what shall fix it, . . . The straw is too long, . . . Well cut it, . . . With what shall I cut it, . . ? With an axe, . . . The axe is too blunt, . . . Then sharpen it, . . . With what shall I sharpen it, . . ? With a stone, . . .. The stone is too dry, . . . Then wet it, . . . With what shall I wet it, . . ? With water, . . .. In what shall I fetch it, . . ? With a bucket, . . . There’s a hole in my bucket, . .

32 Tie Me Kangaroo Down (The first verse is almost spoken or narrated) There’s an old Australian stockman - lying, dying...

There ain't no bugs on us! There ain't no bugs on us! There may be bugs on some of your mugs, But there ain't no bugs on us! 34 On Top Of A Pizza On top of a pizza, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table and on to the floor. And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door. It rolled into the street And there it was smashed. And now my poor meatball is a pile of hash. So, when you eat pizza all covered with cheese, Hold on to your meatball, whenever you sneeze. 35 Waltzing Matilda Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers - one, two, three, Whose that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag? You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me, Whose that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag? You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Up jumped the swagman, and sprang into the billabong, You’ll never catch me alive said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

36 Waltzing Matilda -- An Older Version Oh, There was once a swagman camped in a billabong Under the shade of a coolabah tree And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling “Who’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me? Who’ll come a Waltzing Matilda, my darling, Who’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag Who’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee And he sang as he stuffed him away in his tuckerbag “You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.” (Repeat Chorus) Down came the squatter, a riding on his thoroughbred Down came policemen, One, two and three “Whose is the jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.” (Repeat Chorus) But the swagman, he up and he jumped in the water hole Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billibong “Who’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?” (Repeat Chorus)

O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, Oh, save us all! Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! Not in this land alone, But be God's mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world o'er! From every latent foe, From the assassin's blow, God save the Queen! O'er her thine arm extend, For Britain's sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen! In love's endearments fond, In wedlock's holy bond, Blest be our Queen.

In her blest progeny, We future Monarchs see, Of England bold and free, God save the Queen! Lord let wars' tempest cease; Fold the whole world in peace Under thy wings. Make all the nations one; All hearts beneath the sun; Till Thou shalt reign alone; Great King of Kings. Lift we both heart and voice With one accord rejoice On this glad day. On our Queen's Jubilee Bend we to God the knee Singing right heartily God save the Queen. God hear our nation's prayer Safe in Thy loving care, Guard Thou our Queen. Ruler of earth and sea, Through all eternity In one blest Jubilee Keep Thou our Queen. Our loved Dominion Bless With peace and happiness From shore to shore And let our Empire be Loyal, united, free, True to herself and thee For evermore. Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the King.
